PULLER particulars will be furnished on application, and i ntending Buyers or Lessees, who do not see anything in this list to Buit them, are invited to send me a note of their requirements, which shall receive prompt and personal attention. tff" In order to remove erroneous impressions as to the taxation of the Taranaki district, the following facts and figures are supplied : AllgLauds, whether i ■ town, villages, or country, situated on the line of coast between Mokau on the north, and on either side of Aloant Egmunt as.fur as, but not including, Hawera on the south, are chargeable with the New Plymouth Harbour rate of THREE EARTHINGS in the £ on the oapital value, a 3 determined trieuu ally hy the Property Tax Assessment. Thus, a property valued at £IOOO pays £3 2s 6d per annum. County Rates. In the Taranaki County the rates amount to One Penny (Id) in the £, and in Clifton County ONE HALFPENNY (£d), in each case, inclusive of the levy for Hospital and Charitable Aid. The District Road Rates vary from £d to fd in the £, but in some districts no rate is struck. It will thus be seen that the greatest rating in any Country District is 2£d in the £, viz., Harbour I<V County Id, and Road Board £d. In the Borough of New Plymouth, the total Municipal Rates amount tc 2s 9d in the £ on ANNUAL valuation, and include an abundant and constant supply of pure water.
